S. we meet again Where we have lingered long, And now the time has come for us To sing our parting song. A backward glance across the years We spent within your walls, Firings happy thoughts and one regret That we must leave your halls. Though time may lead us far away, It never will efface The memory of the happy hours Our High School years embrace. Then fare-thee-well dear P. II. S. Whatever be our fate, You’ll always be a Beacon to The class of ’twenty-eight. —M. Claire Sullivan.

How short the four years of High School have seemed to us. How well we remember that day of days—September 13,1924—when we started our High School life. Groups of boys and girls clustered around the door awaiting the bell which would start our Freshman year. Some time was taken up in becoming acquainted with High School routine. The boys of our class made up a base-ball team which, supported by its classmen, was quite a success! (Maybe!!) At that time some of the girls were still bouncing balls and jumping rope and the boys engaged themselves in teasing the girls as much as possible. And that—seriously speaking—is the History of our Freshman year. SOPHOMORE YEAR. At the end of the summer we met again before the Broadway edifice as “serious-seeming” Sophomores. After a laborious (?) Freshman year we were about to mingle with the Juniors and lofty Seniors as fellow students. It was in the early part of our Sophomore year that the 6-3-3 system was adopted in our fair city and we became, not Sophomores, but first year students. It seemed that they were afraid we were advancing too rapidly, hence the first year student. We were now becoming used to the “gym” and the utilities, and some very good athletes were chosen from our student body. Remember the day, when school adjourned at eleven-thirty until 7:00 P. M., when sessions were held until 9:00 P. M.? Wasn’t it just the most difficult task possible for us to sit attentively in our seats and to concentrate on our books ? Then, in January, our youthful lust for foolishness was gratified when the sophisticated Seniors deigned to descend from their majestic place and, for one day, became care-free “Freaks”. We Sophomores then and there resolved to out-do them in our Senior year. Soon after this we found that another year had passed and we would soon be Juniors. We adjourned until the following September. JUNIOR YEAR. When the Class of 1928 moved on another year, we began to realize that soon we would be cast upon the world to seek our fortunes. It was in this, our Junior year, that many of our number definitely decided upon their future careers. The outstanding event of our Junior year was the Junior “Prom”, which proved to be a big success. This was also the last Pawtucket High School Dance to be held outside of the school. Many of our class now became prominent in dramatics and athletics. For the first time, our school was to enter a dramatic contest in New York. Three one-act plays were given in the school auditorium and the best of the three plays with a capable cast was chosen to represent our Pawtucket High School in New York. The new Senior High School in Exchange Street was nearing completion, and we anticipated entering this building in January, 1927. We even practiced land swimming! However, we were disappointed to learn that no sessions could be held in that building until September 1, 1928. SENIOR YEAR. Seniors! How proud we felt to think that at last we had reached that coveted station in life. A long time was taken in getting used to swimming as a class and to the wonderful cafeteria, which is rivalled by no other high school in New England; and our awe inspiring auditorium— it seemed really impossible that it belonged to us, it was so beautiful! A new rotary system RHS. CLASS Hr I iOC I-L was adapted in which the classes were “pushed forward” an hour each day. This was at first tried out as an experiment, but it proved so successful that it was adopted permanently. Dramatics and athletics occupied much of our time this year. The three one-act plays were given for the second time in our auditorium and the best was sent to enter the New York contest. It proved very successful, taking second place. On April 16th, Freak Day was held and a good time was had by all. There was dancing in the “gym” and a moving picture show at the Leroy. The Senior Play, “If I Were King”, was very spectacular indeed. The various athletic teams were successful throughout the year, and the boys’ swimming team added four cups to the collection of the school. A very successful Class Supper was held on June seventh in our own cafeteria. On June twentieth, the Senior Reception was held in the Gym and was a most enjoyable event. June twenty-second—Graduation. Thus ended the four happiest years for the class of 1928. RII.S. CLASS n BOOK 1228 QLJSS UROPHECT We, the austere prophets of the high and mighty class of 1928, delecti e more, chosen according to custom, were confounded and perplexed—in other words were “in a fog’’; ours was the task to tear aside the dark veil of the Future and discern the fate and lots of our illustrious classmates. One night when the heavens were resplendent in all their glory and a full moon was slowly rising to its zenith, we, the doomed, aforesaid prophets, donned the flowing black garments of prophecy. “Let us ascend the tower of our beloved edifice of learning,” said we, “whence with the aid of the stars we may dispel the fog that encircles us.” With such words, we approached the school. Slowly we climbed the broad steps, two shadows marring their pure whiteness. The entrance doors crashed open before our sanctimonious footsteps. Passing from hall to hall we reached the entrance to the tower. Finally, hastening up a spiral staircase, we saw the sparkling firmament spread before our eyes. Lo and behold! a great star suddenly appeared and as suddenly disappeared. Twenty times in all did the star thus appear; then it vanished from our sight, never more to be seen by human eye. As we gazed awe-struck, a bolt from the blue volt of the heavens struck the tower, hurling the prophets to the floor. Then the prophets felt themselves rudely disturbed. When they opened their eyes, the sun was brightly shining and birds were twittering in the distance. Bewildered, the prophets found themselves on a bench in Wilkinson Park, while a policeman, who looked strangely familiar, was shaking them. Behold; he was no other than Claude Viens. In a gruff voice he bade us move along—Alas! we were unrecognized.—Nonplussed we moved down Park Place hill. On a corner we found Earl Fuller arranging papers on his “news” stand. We purchased a copy of the “Pawtucket Republicratic” from him and inquired the way to a hotel. Following his in- structions we walked up Main Street. Nearing the depot, we saw a huge hotel which, to our surprise, bore the name “Class of ’28 Hostelry”. Entering, we were received by George Gantus, who told us that he managed the hotel, which had been built by Russell Anderson, while shares in it were owned by members of the Class of ’28. George left us in charge of the clerk, Catherine Foster, who had Edward Beech, a bellboy, take us to our rooms. There we puzzled over the preceding events, which we finally solved by reading the newspaper. It was dated February 31, 1948. The first words that struck our eyes were “Big Contractor Sues for Alienation of Affection.” We read the article and discovered that Earl An-derton had sued “Joe” Freeman for stealing the affection of his wife, Muriel Anderton, nee Muriel Smith. However, “Joe” was exonerated because the jury said that he was not responsible for his strange power over women. Below this we read that under the managership of James Casey, Helen Arnold was holding diving exhibitions in the Blackstone River near the Exchange Street Bridge. A note was suffixed that the chemical evolved by Raymond Andrew—now one of the city’s millionaires—after constant use had returned the river to its native purity. A commotion drew us to our windows, which overlooked Main Street. There on the street a traveling circus was giving an open air exhibition. Flora Follett was dancing on a tightrope. With difficulty we recognized the two clowns who were tumbling about as “Art” Conn and Walter Hyszko. Returning to our paper we saw under “Special Items” that the tennis players, James Carr and Susan Barsamian—who was now more famous than Susanne of our own memories—had won the Olympic crown for the United States. By this time the prophets were hungry and, noting that there was a small tea-room nearby. PHS. CLASSilfBOOK 1228 left the hotel and came to “Bob’s Teashop’’. Outside, Arshar Rustigan was lettering the windows. From him we learned that the tearoom belonged to Edith Bryce. Upon entering, a waitress, whom we saw was Mildred Lonsdale, took us to a table. The menus we received, we read, were arranged by Ruth Berger and Caroline Davis, registered dieticians. We enjoyed our fried butterfly wings tremendously and when we asked who the chef was, we were informed that he was Harold Lord. At a table in a corner we saw Edward Rowse, the big “Butter and egg man’’. As we pondered the payment of our bill, in walked “Buck” Grammelsbach, the African golf magnate. Much to our satisfaction he immediately recognized us and welcoming us to Pawtucket, said that his wife, formerly Alice Reardon, would be very glad to have us to dinner in the evening if it fitted in with our plans. At this moment the proprietor, Edith Bryce, came over with our bill. When she learned who we were she tore the bill up—much to our relief. Then she told us that the money standard had changed from gold and silver to jelly beans on account of the readiness with which the latter circulated. Malachi Kelly and Domi Yurge-lon, having invented an imperishable jelly bean, had established a jelly bean mint near “Four Corners”. By this time “Buck” had finished his third order. lie was about to begin a fourth when we persuaded him to take us through the metropolis. We left the teashop just as Michael De Luca, chief prohibition officer of the city, and his assistant, Edward McGuinness, came walking in. “Buck” pointed out to us a large somber building on the Goff Boulevard, which had been built by Archie Plante. That, he said, was an institution in charge of Ruth Ballou, who was president of the Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Latin Sharks. Among those supported in the building were Raymond Flynn, Virginia Howes, John Pappas and Florence Morin. On the corner of Main and Broad Streets we saw “Levin’s Theatre”, a huge twenty-story structure, owned by Isadore Levin and built b3' Alice Dooley and Richard Painter, international architects. We saw that Zygamond Jablecki had risen very high in the world, for he was busily engaged in painting a billboard on top of the building. On the front of the theatre the bill for the week was headed by ’28 Workshop Players in a one-act play lead by Mary Mooney as the grandmother, Thomas Hunt in the role of the country hero, Betty Sinelnikoff as the vamp, and Bernice Callaghan as the heroine. The second feature on the program was a moving picture, “The Red Emerald”, in which Robert Johnston, the dashing hero, saves the life and fortune of his sweetheart, portrayed by Ivy Abbott, from the hands of the villain, Arnold Newcomb. The picture was produced in the Warner studios, owned by Beatrice Warner. The next week’s program was headed by Helen’s Orchestra, directed by Helen Gregory. The orchestra was returning from a very successful tour of North and South America. The troupe consisted of Lester Walton, violinist; Helen McDonald, xylophonist; Anna Stizpeck, cornetist; Annis Martin, saxophonist; Ruth Keetley, drummer; Walter Kelley, sousaphonist; Christine Vogel, pianist, and Ruth Moulson, billed as the “Jazz Queen”, who had originated that famous dance step, the “Aeroplane Dip”. Tlie second feature was “Annie O’Brien—the internationally Famous Male Impersonator, and Her Associate Chorus direct from Paris, consisting of Madelyn Bogin, Joseph Schaffer, Mary Corey and Sophia McDermott”. Another feature was Glenn Martin’s bird act, during which six canaries, trained by Glenn, sang the “Sextet” from Lucia di Lammermoor! “Buck” Grammelsbach, our guide, then asked us if we would like to visit the baking powder factory owned by Dora Korenbaum and Ellen Bolin. He told us that the owners had installed Charles Fiske as organist in the factory, for they believed that music would keep their employees contented. Furthermore, in the office, their secretary, Dorothea Niles, recorded names by means of an unusual machine resembling a piano. We said we might go there later in the day and asked him to take us to the courthouse where we might hear a case, if one were on trial. On the way to the courthouse, which was on RILS. CLASS BOOK 1928 Meeting Street, our guide suddenly looked at his watch and said that he would have to leave us because he had an appointment with Helen Mitchell and her husband, James Phetteplace, who were coming to meet him from their cattle ranch in Limerock, where Roy Beittel worked as a cowpuncher. Before leaving us, Frank gave each prophet one of Cabana’s Havana cigars, manufactured by the cigar potentate, Doria Cabana. The prophets continued alone on their way to the courthouse. They passed a fish market called “At the Sign of the Trumpet”, owned by Stanley Brady, who caught each fish personally in the Blackstone River. Right next door was a pawn shop, run by John Doll. Inside we saw “Joe” Lennon trying to pawn his high-school diploma. When he came out—having pawned it for ten jelly beans—we learned that he was still a freshman in McCusker’s Institute, of which Thomas McCusker was president. Close to the institute, he told us, was the “School for Spinster ‘Stenogs’ ”, directed by Blair Norton and attended by Anna MacSwan, Lily Matson, Kathleen Rich, Rose Gabar, Marjorie Lockwood, Gertrude Hughes and Mary Mahan. “Joe” also told us that Karl Hammer and Elizabeth Miller had gone out West as companion card-sharps and were now building storehouses for the jellybeans. When we asked about the high school, he said that many of our classmates had become teachers. Annette Farrell was teaching Latin. Ruby Heath, who had learned to translate the language of music by constant strumming of her mandolin, taught music appreciation. Lena Ashby had charge of the commercial department, and Freddy Thorpe, the human adding machine, taught mathematics. Mary Fagan was not as lucky as her other classmates; she was a teacher of the high school kindergarten. In other words, poor Mary taught Freshmen. Thomas Toole, after years of study in India, was now teaching Sanskrit. “Dot” Sutcliffe and her brother John were the coaches and gym instructors at the school. “Dot” was assisted by Fanny Carney. In mentioning teachers “Joe” said that Alice von Dembowski and Marion Morris had gone out West. Alice was going to teach the Navajos how to weave blankets, and Marion was going to instruct them in the art of making pottery. Suddenly, as “Joe” was talking, an ambulance driven by Edward Foster dashed up Main Street. Inside we saw a doctor and three nurses. Telling us that the doctor was W. II. Goldberg, and that the nurses were “Libby” Barry, Rose Seltzer and Mary Bayley, “Joe” hurried away after the ambulance. Alone again, the prophets continued on their way. Across the street they saw the “Berger-Ilorovitz Department Store”, owned and managed by Edith Berger and Bernard Horovitz. Next to the department store was the Lennon and Lennon Sport Store, run by John and Walter Lennon. Then the prophets saw the dog-catcher’s horse and wagon coming up Main Street. The driver was “Betty” Keougli. She stopped when she saw us and in answer to our first question said that through the experience he had received as a member of the committee on dues in the high school, Albert Oden was now collecting taxes for the city. Roy Evans, she said, was a dancing teacher and he was assisted by Ruth Hunt and Forta Lampropoulos. Harry Ilorroeks had been made Admiral of the Bolivian Navy. John Harootunian had charge of the “Day Nursery”. William Guisti and Eunice Chenette assisted him. A loud roaring drew our attention to the sky, where a huge dirigible was moving away. On the side was painted in white letters, “Sullivans’—Pawtucket-Paris”. “Betty” told us that the company had been formed by Claire and Arthur Sullivan, who daily sent dirigibles back and forth across the Atlantic. Then “Betty” left us, for she had work to do. The prophets paused on their way in front of a store bearing the sign “Elsye” McFadyen— Modiste”. Peering through the glass door, we saw Elsye waiting on Doris Anderson, who was accompanied by Donald Kirker, the millionaire lumber man, who controlled the toothpick industry of the world. A model, Catherine Regan, was displaying one of the latest Parisian crea- RILS. CLASS BOOK 1228 tions to them. At the cash register in the corner “Bob” Ensign was sitting. The prophets truly surmised that he was Elsye’s husband. Next to this store was a beauty salon run by Lillian Dunbar and a small tailor shop, where Olga Lotti sewed buttons on for confirmed bachelors. Across the street was the Wright Radio Corporation, where one might buy “Wrights’ right set at Wrights’ right price”. Grace and Russell Wright ran this store. Close by was a florist shop, owned by Harold Prescott, in the window of which several beautiful rare orchids were displayed. Near the courthouse the prophets stopped for some hot dogs at a lunch cart managed by Marion Michelson. When they entered the courthouse, a trial was in full session. Elmer Hamm, a politician, was being tried for attempting to bribe a public officer, namely, Irene Williamson, the city clerk, with a hundred jelly beans. The lawyer for the prosecution, that is, the district attorney, was John Hunt. The counsel for the defence was Alice Hannan. The evidence, the jelly beans, was on the bench of the judge, Barbara Sellew. Near the judge was Helen Baldwin, the court clerk. The jury consisted entirely of members of the Class of ’28, girls predominating. Kasmear Korlacki was the foreman. The other jurors were .Mildred Tattersall, Lauretta Beaudoin, Gertrude Regan, Madelyn Comer, Norman Kelley, Margaret McKenna, Mildred Conary, Bessie Shuster, Grace Gardner and Alicia Cavanaugh. The judge’s gavel suddenly wrapped. Everyone looked toward the judge’s bench. The evidence had disappeared. With a guilty look, the judge dismissed the case for lack of evidence. Among the audience the prophets recognized Phyllis Kaczowka and Doris Barr, who were reporters for the “Republicratic”. On High Street the prophets saw Charles McAlevy, drum major, leading his newly formed band to the heart of the city. Lois Yigeant, Rejane Parent and Edgar Patterson were among the members of the band. The stirring march which the band was playing had been composed by Henry LeToile. When the band had passed, the prophets crossed the street to the City Hall. On the steps they found the janitor, Stuart Wood, smoking a corn-cob pipe. He answered some of our questions as to other of our classmates. “Fred” Murphy, he said, was mayor of the city and in that capacity was fighting the substitution of Violet Massari’s “History” for Muzzey’s. Vincent Boyle was a veterinarian, specializing in horses. As Stuart was speaking, Henry Mar-gerson, busily engaged in cleaning the street, approached. Of course he stopped a while to talk. Dorothy Milligan, having won the National Bowling Championship, was trying for international honors. “Ilennie” told us that the police, the chief of whom was Varnum Barber, were giving a charity boxing match, at which two professionals, James Gorman and John Kelly, were to meet for the New England championship. “Freddy” Carpenter had established a record of five seconds flat for the hundred yard dash. We bade our two classmates farewell and set out for Water Street and the water front. On the way we passed an undertaker’s shop run by Everett Schreiner, assisted by Francis Flanagan. Near the Undertaker’s shop was a grave yard, where Florence Drummond and Jack Taylor were industriously digging graves only to fill them up and dig others. When we reached Water Street, we saw Miriam Lynn, who was a social reform worker there. She told us that Florence Watson had just been elected President of the Social Welfare League for which she worked. The prophets walked along Water Street to the Division Street Bridge, from which they could see factories on both sides of the river. There was “Fred” Keene’s factory, where “Keene’s Keen-edged Knives” were manufactured. Across the river from the knife factory was a Jello factory, owned by Laura Wentworth, and managed by Florence Whelan. Near the Jello factory was a building where Edward P.HS. k CLASSiBrBOOK 1228 Cartwright made eyeless needles and “IIole-less” doughnuts. From the other side of the bridge we saw the huge storehouses of Elizabeth Davis, where were stored the spices and other such goods that she imported from the Orient. Elizabeth was ably assisted by her secretaries, Katherine Fitzpatrick and Helen Johnson. Near the warehouses Kenneth Rupprecht and Warren Slaney owned a shipyard and wharf. They had established an overnight ship-line from Pawtucket to Liverpool. Across the river from their property was the chewing gum factory of Evelyn Hanley, where Abbie Foley, Helen Wil-denhain, Lena Domina, Ethel Marshall, Everett Smith, Ruth Gotlieb and Marion Walberg worked as testers. Returning to the “Class of ’28 Hostelry”, the prophets met Dino Tonelli, who told them that he and Ruth Gregory worked on Ethel Farrell’s Ranch in Saylesville, and that “Jack” O’Halloran was foreman at the ranch. At Elk’s Square we saw Roland Cote urging a crowd of people to overthrow capitalism. On the corner of Montgomery and Exchange Streets was a building bearing the sign “Pawtucket Opera House”. There, that night, the famous prima donna, Emily Margerison, on an opera tour, was to sing the leading role in an opera by the well-known composer, Russell An-derton. We purchased a copy of the evening “Repub-licratic” at a “news” stand near the hotel, run by Ruth Buckminster. We immediately went to our rooms. The evening paper contained much more news than the morning edition. Leon Najarian was laboriously at work at Biceps Shoals in Lonsdale extracting pearls from mussel shells. Irene Townley and Mary Ilanson had walked from Pawtucket to San Francisco in one day, twelve hours, thirty minutes and thirty and five-tenths seconds, thus establishing a record. Nora Hyde had discovered an immediate cure for hydrophobia. We were pleased to note that Stephen Loner-gan had invented an anti-seasick roller coaster. “Jimmy” Etchells was presented with a “Good Work Medal” by Isabel Hoogasian, President of the Chamber of Commerce, for the good work he did in furthering the study of chemistry among the Eskimos. From the edtorial page we learned that Kathleen O’Connell edited the paper. There were several short stories, scattered through the paper, which were written by Nora Whittaker. Margaret Hanna had charge of the fashion reviews; Clifford Sutton drew cartoons and Eunice Sanderson wrote “Letters to the Lovelorn”. Under “Music Notes”, which were in charge of Edith Theroux, we read that the children of the “elite” had given a piano recital under the direction of Bertha Bryan. Clifford Pearce was touring India and playing for maharajahs. Furthermore, Alfred Yanovsky was said to have been called a second Paderewski. We were very much surprised to read that Ruth Corbett, following in the path of her illustrious kinsman, was challenging any other woman prize-fighter in the world to a match. An article that interested us was one describing the monuments in Slater Park, sculptured by Mildred Gavitt. The “News Items” column was headed by an announcement that Rose McGeough had opened an office on Wall Street and that Rita Euart was employed as secretary. Then followed a statement that Sadie McNeill was still traveling around the world. Albert St. John had been appointed ambassador to Chile. Virginia Bryant had edited a book of poems called “High School Recollections”. “Danny” Keougli was captain of the “IT. S. A. International Baseball Champions”. Led by Hope Hedberg, Ellen Connolley, Geraldine Furness and Marjorie Mason were fighting for the repeal of the “Women’s National Suffrage Bill”. The telephone in the room rang and when we answered, Heyward Horton, the clerk at the desk, told us that a car had been sent for us. The car waiting downstairs was a “Dudley EILS CLASSii BOOK 1228 Marsh Super-28”, built by Arland Dudley Marsh, owner of a sub-corporation to Dupont Motors of which Roger Dupont was the president. The automobile had been sent by Hardy Marsden, private secretary to Deeran Martin, the owner of Pawtucket Interplanetary Railways. When we reached “Duke’s” office, he invited us to ride in his new locomotive which, planned and built by Louis Albiston, utilized atomic energy and traveled along light beams. As we journeyed through space, increasing from one hundred to two hundred to three hundred miles per second, a comet struck us head on and instantly all was oblivion. Gradually light appeared and we found ourselves back in the tower of the school. The night had passed; but within our reach was the revealed treasure, the prophecy of the class of 1928. Signed, The conscience stricken, Joseph M. Zuoker, William J. Goldberg. RILS. A CLASSll BOOK 1228 fAST WILL AND of the class of 1928 To All It May Concern Be It Known: That we, the august members of the illustrious Class of 1928, being the first class to enjoy its Senior year in that magnificent edifice, the Pawtucket Senior High School, about to launch ourselves forth into the cold and cruel world, being of a safe, sound, and super-intelligent mind, do generously make and declare this to be our last w ill and testament.

In recent years it has been very popular with American theatre-goers. This appeal is probably due to the fact that Bert Lytel, the motion picture actor, acted in its title role while touring the country. The story opens at the Connecticut State Prison at Wethersfield. Warden Holt and Father Daly, the prison chaplain, are confronted with a serious problem. There is a man to be hanged that night for the crime of murder. He has repeatedly refused to tell them anything about himself save the fact that his name is James Dyke. The warden resolves to make one more attempt to see if he can find out who the man really is. Immediately after Dyke is sent for, a telephone call comes from the governor of the state. The warden is told that a girl, who has led the governor to believe that the convict may be her long-lost brother, is on the way to the prison. As soon as the girl enters, Father Daly and Warden Holt adjourn into the adjoining room. Dyke recognizes the girl as his sister, but he will not admit it to her. He finds out that his father is dead and that his mother has long been sick from worrying about her wandering son. Due to the length of time he has been away from home he is able to invent a wild story. He tells the girl how he had fought upon the battlefields of France with her brother. When he feels that the girl is interested he relates how this man she is seeking met his death one day while trying to rescue a superior officer. The man who is about to die gives the girl his only possessions, some liberty bonds, and tells her to take them to her mother. The young lady is scarcely gone before the warden and priest return. As the guards enter and the death march begins he is heard repeatedly to say above the prayers of the priest: “Cowards die many times before their death, The valiant never taste of death but once.” RHS. CLASSifl BOOK: 1228 “IF I WERE KING” Principal Characters Left to Right:—Thomas Hunt, Betty Sinelnikoff. Catherine Regan, Earl Amlerton, Mary Mooney, Joseph Freeman, Clifford Pearce, Joseph Zucker. The senior play, “If 1 Were King” is a romance in four acts written in 1902 by Justin Iluntly McCarthy. Previous to 1902 Mr. McCarthy had written a novel called “If I Were King”, that became so popular that he was persuaded to write the play. Since that time this theme has been used in that very delightful musical comedy, “The Vagabond King”, and in John Barrymore’s motion picture, “The Beloved Rogue”. The following is a brief resume of the play. Francois Villon, beggar, poet, gentleman, rogue, drinker, brawler, etc., is overheard by Louis XIV to say that the king is but a “nincompoop” and that the attacks of Burgundy would be repulsed if he (Villon) were on the throne. Louis decides to give him a chance to prove his boast and makes him the Grand Constable of France. lie is to have a chance to drive out the Burgundians. However, there is one condition attached to his office. After he accomplished his task he is to die, unless he wins the love of Lady Katherine, whom Louis wishes to humiliate for spurning Tliibault D’Aussigny, his candidate for her hand. Villon thwarts an attempt to assassinate the king and makes much progress with Katherine. When the day comes for the crucial battle, Villon tells Katherine that he is not what she thinks, but a mere beggar, Francois Villon. Katherine spurns him and he departs for battle. At length he returns in triumph and the king demands that he forfeit his life. The people of Paris refuse to let him do this and the king states that if a willing substitute be found, Villon will live. Villon’s mother offers to die for her son, but is not permitted to do so. Then Katherine offers to take his place on the gallows. Villon is amazed and again asks the love of Katherine. She consents to marry him then and there, and thus the scheming Louis is outwitted. Then, according to custom, after Louis’ blessing is given, they live happily ever after. RH.S. CLASS « -BOOK 7 hr DRAMATIC S OCA LAI Tlie 1927-1928 season of the Dramatic Society has been extremely successful. The past year has witnessed a remarkable advance along the line of dramatic work. The acting, managing and staging of each production has been very well done and the showing that our actors made in the dramatic contest sponsored by Washington Square College Players of New York University must he remembered. Much praise is due Miss Flora S. Curtis, who has directed her proteges through such an excellent year. It is our sincere desire that .Miss Curtis may lead the Dramatic Society through many more seasons as successful as our own year has proved. The first production of the society was “Have You Anything to Declare”, a one-act comedy in the auditorium on November 4, 1927. This play was given in conjunction with the High School Band and Fretted Instrument Club. The next presentation of the Dramatic Society was “The Whole Town’s Talking”, a very enjoyable three-act comedy, on December 21. Thomas Hunt gave an excellent portrayal of Chester Binney, a young, uncultured business man. Bernice Callaghan, as Ethel Simmons, the daughter of Mr. Binney’s partner, filled the leading role remarkably well. The next entertainment was in the form of three one-act plays. This was a preliminary contest to determine which play should be entered in the New York University Contest. The three plays were: “The Valiant”, “Spreading the News”, and “Pearls”. In “The Valiant”, Joseph Freeman acted his part to the very minutest detail. He was ably assisted by Elizabeth Partridge. “Spreading the News”, a comedy, had its scene in the outskirts of a County Fair in Ireland. Bernice Callaghan certainly “got her Irish up” when she discovered things were not going well. The timidness of Bartley Fallon, played by Everett Shreiner, was exceptionally good. “Pearls”, the last play to be given, was a comedy with an every day plot. Thomas Hunt as Tad Lewis entirely misled the audience into thinking him to be the thief of a string of pearls he had given to his sister Polly, Betty Sinelnikoff, while M. Dorothy -Mooney, playing the part of the older sister, helped greatly in straightening matters out for the better. The one play of these chosen was “The Valiant”. The final cast to present the play in New York included Elizabeth Partridge, Thomas Hunt, Clifford Pearce, Joseph Freeman, James Etchells and Wilbert Ballou. This play when presented in New York, according to the opinion of those who saw the other plays in the competition, should have been awarded first prize, but was given honorable mention. The Dramatic Society terminated its season in the annual Senior Play, which was, “If I Were King”. This four-act romance of Justin McCarthy was chosen because the Dramatic Society had not produced a costume play in the last few years. Without the wonderful facilities of our new auditorium it would have been impossible to stage such a production. Much credit must also be given to Zygamond Jablecki, stage manager, for the wonderful scenery which he and his assistants designed and painted. Fully fifteen hundred people witnessed this performance. Joseph Freeman received extended praise for his portrayal of Francois Villon, poet, thief and lover. M. Dorothy Mooney as Katherine de Vaucelles, a young lady in love with Villon and willing to sacrifice even her life for that of her lover, acted her part to perfection. The proceeds of this play were given to obtain Dramatic Society charms and to giving two scholarships to the boy and girl in the class who in the opinion of a committee have been outstanding in scholarship, character and school spirit. Bernice Callaghan and Thomas Hunt received the scholarships this year. The play, “If I Were King”, ended a most enjoyable year of this Society. We hope that future classes may also take advantage of the opportunities that are offered to them. M. Dorothy Mooney, Secretary. John J. Hunt, Business Manager. RHS CLASS B O OKI 1228 TIIE P. II. S.

S. band has, in this, its first season, progressed with rapid strides. It has grown from a handful of untrained boys to a unit of three score uniformed bandmen. Last May the Pawtucket High School band was almost unheard of. This May that band represented this state in the New England contest of high school bands in Boston. This advance indicates truly the sincere effort which both leader and members have so zealously supplied. About the middle of March, 1927, the word band held no special significance with students. A few weeks later, however, that word was going from mouth to mouth like wildfire. Mr. Whipple, with the aid of Mr. William Meiklejohn, had secured a Mr. Clark, representing the National Bureau for the Advancement of Band Music, to address the first and second year classes. After listening to Mr. Clark outline the possibilities of a school band, students and principal alike were captivated by the idea. The beginning was unostentatious. Instruments were what few could be purchased with the help of the Pa rent-Teacher Association. Practice was begun with Mr. Paul i £Iis CLASS iOf 13 O OK E. Wiggins in charge. The first sessions of the new group were conducted in the physics lecture-room in the Broadway Building. Some of the boys were unable to blow a note. This deficiency in technique was soon remedied by the band-master, however, and soon direct application of intense enthusiasm showed its result. A promising group made its premier appearance at a baseball game between the home team and that of Commercial High School on June 10. The attractive red and white uniforms procured through the generosity of the Pawtucket Kiwanis Club, considerably aided the company to make a creditable showing. In existence about two and one-half months, the band assisted at the opening of the new Senior High School Building and also marched at the state championship game for the school-boy baseball title. After the summer recess, the band was considerably enlarged and new life was instilled into practice. New facilities in the new surroundings helped to increase interest and enthusiasm. A student director and a drum major were appointed, the former to assist the leader, the latter to lead on parade. The Armistice Day parade marked the first marching assignment. Occasions when the band could assist at school sports became more frequent and the strains of “Bin-go” became familiar to every football fan. The reputation of the band grew to such extent that it was called upon to play on the program of the Rhode Island Institute, held in the Albee Theatre, Providence. After the football season, during which much drill in marching tactics and formation of letters was gained, a period of indoor work was passed. This was terminated by a three days’ appearance at a local theatre during a vacation. Besides the very appreciable experience gained, a sum of money was realized which swelled the treasury. The band now became formally organized into the Pawtucket High School Association. A constitution was adopted which was to govern election of officers, rules for engagements, and rules for acceptance and expulsion of members. The document required that there be elected librarian and business manager. These officers were duly chosen. Probably the most ambitious attempt up to April, 1928, was the concert presented in the school auditorium on the nights of March 29 and 30. A diversified program was rendered with such finesse as to inspire spontaneous applause on the part of the audience. The concert was a success in every way. Brilliant as this event was, it was leading on to a higher plane, namely, the contest of bands, which is held on Boston Common each year. This mighty congregation of representative musical organizations is a national convention which is growing in importance every year. To be chosen to represent this state on May 26 was not only a coveted opportunity, but a distinct honor as well. While preparing for this important engagement, the band was by no means idle. On the contrary, the period between the concert and the contest was the most busy one of the band’s brief history. A parade followed by a concert in the R. T. Auditorium on one Saturday in May was succeeded on the next by an appearance at the Field Day activities in Kingston. The following week-end was the occasion of the momentous Boston trip, while Memorial Day brought parades. In this manner comes June, almost without warning. With June comes graduation and a loss of several band members. A strong nucleus, however, is left, about which may be built next year’s group. May it have as successful a season as this. The first year of the band’s life is completed. It lias been an important item in the program of the development of the school in keeping step with bigger and finer environment. Whether or not the reputation of the institution which the band represents has been improved or made more widely known is a matter of conjecture, but it is a realized fact that the character of every member of the band has been materially affected and for that reason it will continue to grow and improve.

In the fifth annual chemistry contest at Kingston, the five P. H. S. chemists, competing with eleven other teams, took first place for the fourth time and as a team prize brought home the new silver cup. Pawtucket’s chief chemist, Leon Najarian, won the best mark on the team and second individual prize in the contest. Second on the team and third individual prize winner was Raymond Andrew, who it was predicted before hand would do good work at Kingston. Edward Cartwright, the team’s only musically inclined member, was third on the team and won fifth individual prize. Coach Wolfe received a prize as instructor of the winning team and each member of the team was presented with a copy of “Chemistry in Industry”. Few students realize that the five members of our team had to compete with forty-nine other chemistry students, the pick of the State, in an hour and a half examination of one hundred questions. The examination was much harder than last year’s according to Coaches Wolfe and Phillips. RHS.

Late in last September the remaining members of the 1927-28 debating team held a meeting and decided to form a debating society. The usual procedure for the formation of a society was gone through. At the next meeting a constitution was adopted. A president and managing secretary were then elected in accordance to the constitution, namely, that candidates for these offices be seniors. Elmer Ilamm was elected president and Joseph Zucker, managing secretary. At the same meeting new members were admitted. At the third meeting Stanley Clark was elected recording secretary. Preparations proceeded for debates. The debating society joined the Rhode Island College of Education League. The subject for the debates to follow was: “Resolved that this house ap- prove the foreign policy of the Coolidge administration in Nicaragua”. The first debate was between Central Falls and Pawtucket, Paw- tucket upholding the negative. The debate took place February the twenty-eighth at eight o’clock in the evening. The Pawtucket team consisted of Henry Barles, ’JO; Stanley Clark, ’29; Charles Moss, ’30, in place of Russell Burns, ’29, who was ill; and Irene Martesian, ’29, alternate. Pawtucket lost by a decision of three to nothing. The next debate, in which Pawtucket argued the affirmative case, was held March 28, at East Providence. The team this time was composed of Ernest Litterick, ’29; Charles Moss, ’30; Irene Martesian, ’29, and Russell Burns, ’29, alternate. Cnfortunately Pawtucket again lost with a three to nothing decision. The last debate was held April 18 at West Warwick. The Pawtucket team, supporting the affirmative, comprised Elmer Hamm, ’28; Charles Moss, ’30; Ernest Litterick, ’29, and as alternate, Irene Martesian. Pawtucket lost—but the decision was two to one.

After due deliberation, it was decided to take advantage of the printing shop of the manual arts department, and print the Gleaner in the school. To follow out his plan it was necessary to change the customary magazine into a newspaper. This was not found objectionable, for the leading high schools of the country and practically all colleges edit a newspaper. It was decided to publish a bi-weekly. The first edition appeared November first and was followed rather irregularly by the succeeding editions. The board was encountering several difficulties. Its members had been picked and its offices filled with a view to managing and editing a staid monthly. Now it was forced to produce a lively, newsy, bi-weekly. The news- paper style of writing seemed difficult to adopt. Due to lack of experience on the part of the boys, the printing department could not co-operate as fully as expected. The Tattler and Athletics departments continued to be the main attraction. Various original cartoons were used. The fiction department contributed one story to every edition. For the first three editions the new Gleaner was a three-column, 8 x 12, four-page issue. A new and larger press was secured and the Gleaner increased to a four-column 12 x 15, four-page issue with a smaller size type to allow7 for more material to be printed. This year’s Gleaner Hoard wishes all success to the next board and hopes that it may continue with the bi-weekly newspaper to a greater success. mis.

The Honor Society is a group of pupils selected from the Senior class whose members represent the highest in scholastic attainment. To he eligible to this select group, a Senior must have maintained an average in scholarship of at least 85% throughout his first three years. Having successfully met this requirement, students receive pins which indicate that the wearers belong to the Rhode Island Honor Society. Although the system has been formed within several years, its numbers are constantly grow- ing. The number of students in the society this year represents an increase of over 25% above that of last year, while this number constitutes over 30% of the graduating class. There is also a noticeable increase in the number of boys who succeed in making the grade each year. Membership on the basis of a scholarship is the most important principle of all organizations in school life and as this fact becomes realized mere and more, so does the scholarship rating of this school ascend.

It started off last September with approximately thirty-five members and has kept that average since. Rehearsals have been held steadily, twice a week, and under the careful direction of Mr. Ladd, assisted by Miss Hosmer, it has become quite skillful in its playing. During the months that have passed the orchestra lias made several public appearances. Its first one was at a presentation of the Dramatic Society on December twenty-first. At this time it received many congratulations and was lauded as being one of the finest orchestras the High School had ever had. Since then it has improved rapidly and made an even better presentation of its ability at the other public functions sponsored by the school. Mr. Ladd has always endeavored to have a varied repertoire so that, even though requests have been made for the orchestra’s appearance two or three times in one month, the programs have always been different. For the second time since the formation of an orchestra in the High School, it has been heard over the air. Through the courtesy of Frank Crook, Inc., the orchestra gave a very pleasing entertainment last fall. The Parent Teachers’ Association and various Societies have been entertained. It has been enjoyed by student body during assembly periods. PII.S.

Miss Hosmer, always interested in the progress of the students, especially along musical lines, made the club a success by her enthusiasm and loyalty. When the club first organized, there were only ten members, but within a year, this number has almost doubled. The instruments played are banjo, mandolin, ukelele, violin and Hawaiian guitar. The club members have been very willing to entertain and have played for the Senior High School Parent-Teachers’Association,the Prospect Street Parent-Teachers’ Association, the D. A. R. and the Rotary Club. They have also played for the student body and the faculty, assisted in the program of the Band Concert, and also when “The Valiant” was given in school. In addition, two programs have been “broadcast” over the radio in observance of Music Week this year and last. In fact, everything points toward a rapid growth of the organization. Everyone who has interest along musical lines should take advantage of the excellent training given by Miss Hosmer. RII.S.

After many closely contested games, of both the Senior first and second basketball teams, the class championship was taken by them. Every girl who wished to learn the game or who desired to play, was given her chance. After several weeks of practice under the instruction of Miss Jones, two teams, first and second, according to their ability, were chosen from each class and games were scheduled. To win the championship, both the first and second teams’ victories and losses were added to- gether. The Seniors lost only once and that was by a very narrow margin. The games were so enthusiastically received by all, that it was decided to teach basketball in gym so that every girl would know, at least, the fundamentals. In this way more interest has been aroused in the game and next year it is hoped that enough will turn out so that three teams, with substitutes for every team, from every class may be formed.

This year the Pawtucket High Girls swimming team began a very busy season by using for the first time, our new pool. The first meet of the season was with Whitinsville, and although we were defeated, it proved to be a very exciting one. The Brookline and Worcester meets gave Pawtucket the much needed experience which enabled us to defeat our ancient rivals: Kast Providence. These teams have many fine swimmers and some record holders, which made the meets very interesting. For the first time a meet was secured with the Freshman team of the Women's College of Brown University. We were fortunate in de- feating the first year team by a large margin. It is hoped that we may be able to secure meets for next year with several other schools besides those already on our schedule. With the use of the new Senior High pool and the able coaching of Miss Caroline Nachtrieb, P. II. S. ended a busy season early in May. Although we were not always winners, the various meets gave us much more confidence and experience. The prospects for a successful team in 1929 are very bright as only several members of the team will graduate. The members of 1928 wish the team the best of luck. Laura C. Wentworth, Manager.

If we could have found an outstanding quarterback, there is no doubt but what we would have won the Interscholastic League pennant. One handicap was having the game with East Providence, probably the hardest of the season, come at the beginning of the Interscholastic League. We were fortunate in having on our team such good material, notably Charlie McAlevy, who made the All-State team at guard, and the All-Interscholastic team; Captain John Sutcliffe at fullback; Buster Evans at center and Johnny Harootunian at tackle, also made all Inter- scholastic. ‘ ‘ Babe ’ ’ Oden made the second team at end. On the All-Blackstone Valley team we had five men. In the All-Interscholastic team there were thirteen men from Pawtucket who were on the first or second teams or who received honorable mention. This was a better record than any other team in the state. This year we played against Gloucester High School at Gloucester, Massachusetts, for a preseason game. Gloucester had one of the outstanding teams in Massachusetts. The drive of 75 miles there took a good deal of the pep out of the Pawtucket players, but even so we defeated them by the score of 7-0. Our line, which averaged 170 pounds from end to end, was about bus. CLASS «0pBOOK 1228 the heaviest in this section, and just as strong as it was heavy. All season long only two touchdowns were scored through the line, one of which was scored while the third team was playing. Gloucester realized what a powerful line we had when they had the pigskin on our six-inch line and were unable to get it across in three downs. The “Redjackets” faced East Providence at Glenlyon Field for our first league game. In this game East Providence picked up a fumbled ball and ran for a touchdown. Then Pawtucket rushed up a ball until they had passed the last white line for six points. From then on the game was in doubt until nearly time for the final whistle. About two minutes before the game ended, the East Providence quarterback dropped back to his 40-yard line and booted a beautiful drop-kick straight through the goal posts. This game ended with an East Providence victory of 9-6. Our next game was with the Classical team of Providence. Four of our players were not allowed to start this game because they had cut practice to attend the Brockton Fair. However, we scored a 19-0 victory over our opponents. The next week we had a heart-breaking game with Woonsocket. Our fullback picked up a fumbled forward pass and then ran the field for a touchdown. The referee claimed that the forward pass was not completed and so the touchdown was not counted. The game ended in a 0-0 tie. Cranston was our next victim. This game was the hardest fought game of the season. Time and again our heavy line stopped the onslaught of the fleet-footed backs from Cranston. Pawtucket managed after hard work to put one touchdown across the line. We were the only team to defeat Cranston in the regular Inter-scholastic League schedule. The close of the game saw us on the long end of a 6-0 score. Our sixth game brought us up against our traditional rival, Hope. We administered upon Hope the worst beating in the past five years. Our whole squad was used against them and even our third team scored a touchdown. We intercepted many forward passes in this game, three of which were turned into touchdowns. Hope didn’t have a ghost of a chance to score from the first whistle until the last. This game ended in a 26-0 victory for Pawtucket. The following Friday we journeyed to West Warwick to defeat them by a score of 32-6. West Warwick considered this a moral victory because they scored their only touchdown all season against us. Again our coach used the whole squad and our subs scored at will. Our victory over Commercial High proved to be the last of the season. The Commercial players were on their toes every minute and scored a touchdown on a fumble by one of our baekfield men. Pawtucket emerged victorious in this tilt by a 14-6 score. The second defeat administered to Pawtucket came at the end of the season. Central Falls, our inter-city rival, proved to be our Waterloo. Central possessed about the lightest team in the state, but at the same time each man was well-trained in the rudiments of the game. They were fast on their feet and took advantage of every break. Pawtucket was a little bit over-confident when they met Central, but the little fellows showed us up. Central Falls was later crowned state champions, so even though this was our first defeat by Central Falls, we all know she had a wonderful team. The final score of this game was 12-0. We should all feel that Pawtucket High’s football team performed well this year with six victories, one tie and two defeats. Much credit should be bestowed upon our coaches for the great deal of work that they did to get the team in shape for the strenuous season that we had to face. Stuart Wood, Manager.

Pawtucket High School’s 1928 Basketball Team has completed a season that merits the praise of all followers of athletics. Confronted with a stiff schedule of 20 games, among which were fourteen League encounters, our team soon gained recognition as one of the best in high school circles. A record of 11 victories, 9 being garnered in the Rhode Island Interscholastic League, against 9 defeats, 2 being administered by teams out of our class, is, to say the least, satisfactory. That this year we were listed third in rank in the League, whereas last year we ended in seventh, is in itself sufficient to place us among the teams that have really accomplished noteworthy feats. During the past season we were exceptionally fortunate in securing Robert Morris, a former Stroudsburg College Basketball Captain, as assistant to Arthur L. .Jones, our regular coach. It was understood last year that Coach Jones was sacrificing the hope of making even a mediocre showing with his squad of, what was then, raw material, that the team of 1928 might realize its ambition to he among the leaders of the League. This plan, which was formulated last year, proved itself successful. Statistics show that Pawtucket defeated every team in the League with the exception of this year’s champions, Woonsocket, at least once. West Warwick, Cranston and Classical were each repulsed twice. Our first game of the season, which officially RIIS. CLASS BOOK !22§ opened on January 6, was with Cranston on their own floor. Although we defeated them 32-12, the game was void of any particular excitement because of want of aggressiveness on the part of both sides. Our first home game, at which a large delegation of students and faculty was present, was lost to Hope 29-19. Here Pawtucket seemed to lack something intangible—some said “the breaks”, because of the fact that Hope made most of her baskets from the middle of the floor or from inconceivable angles. The facilities of our new gymnasium were taxed to capacity to accommodate the turnout from both schools at our next game, which was with East Providence. This contest marked the best exhibition of basketball played by Pawtucket in two years. That we won, 11-9, from a team that continually had beaten us in all sports for years, caused a great change in the attitude of the school at large towards athletics. On the following day we journeyed to Kingston, only to be overwhelmed, 53-11, by a team composed largely of ex-high school stars. Against the R. I. State Freshmen, our team displayed nothing of the spirit that had swept to victory the night before. The season continued with no outstanding game until we met Woonsocket on their own floor. In this conflict we were out-roughed rather than out played. Defeated 33-18, we were not, however, eliminated from the race for League leadership. Alternating a victory over Classical with a setback at the hands of an under-rated Commercial quintette, we ended the first round of the schedule in fourth place. During the interlude before the start of the second round we defeated, by the score of 39-7, Cumberland, a team that last year had swamped us. After proving ourselves superior to Cranston for the second time this year, we again faced a strong Hope five. In this game Pawtucket avenged itself with the Blue and White, 21-15, for the defeat handed them earlier in the season. We wound tip our 1928 League schedule with conquests of West Warwick, Classical and Commercial, and repulses from East Providence and Woonsocket. The final League standing rated Pawtucket in third place, tied with Hope. The annual Central Falls-Pawtucket basketball series, always an outstanding feature in the athletic relations between the two schools, this year assumed the greatest importance and aroused the most interest since its inauguration. Coming, as it did, even before the completion of the League schedule, it found our team in excellent condition. The first game, played in our own gymnasium before a crowd of about 1000, was a heartbreaking defeat for Pawtucket. During the first half our team displayed fine form and after a whirlwind of basketball, half time found us leading 8-5. However, through a sudden rally Central’s score increased along with our own until, at the end of the regulation playing period the tally stood 14 all. The coaches of the rival schools agreed upon a three-minute overtime period. It was amazing how the great amount of action that ensued could be crammed into so short a space of time. Almost immediately upon the start of the extra period the Red and White jumped into the lead by scoring a basket from the floor. With a two-point lead and less than three minutes to go, Victory for Pawtucket seemed assured. Nevertheless, a sudden come-back which netted the Blue and White two baskets in quick succession put our rivals back into the van. Furiously we tried to regain our lead, but the final whistle cut short our attempt. The score, 18-16, shows in itself that Pawtucket and Central Falls were as evenly matched teams as the two institutions had ever had representing them. Before the second game of the series our aggregation made the trip to Gloucester, Mass., to play the local high school in basketball for the first time. Pawtucket succumbed, 55-19, to a team that ranked among the best in New England. Within three days after our trip, we met Central Falls for the second and most memorable time. This game was, if possible, even more hotly contested than the first. During the first half Central Falls, although encountering stiff opposition, piled up 17 points to our 10. Profiting by the correction, by the coaches, of errors RII.S. CLASS book: 1928 exhibited during the first half, Pawtucket played inspired basketball during the final periods. Through the pace set by our team in these quarters, it was inevitable that we would win; we scored 12 points to our opponents’ 2. The final score, 22-19, tells how our team overcame the 7 point lead, forged ahead—and won! That Pawtucket defeated the supposedly superb Central Falls five for the first time in four years was truly the climax of a successful season. The playoff to decide the championship of the Blackstone Valley resulted in a victory for Central Falls and the subsequent acquisition of the trophy symbolic of their supremacy. This final game, played in the Pawtucket Armory before one of the greatest crowds ever to witness a high school competition in Rhode Island by teams, who, although they fought desperately from whistle to whistle, just couldn’t reach the standard of basketball attained in their previous meetings. The outlook for the team of 1929 is exceptionally bright in that six letter men remain. A total of nearly 5000 attended our home games, including those of the Inter-city series this year; and the receipts were correspondingly large. This means that next year’s team can have the best of equipment and accommodation and will expect like support. Wotherspoon, one of the most promising high school forwards in the state, has been unanimously elected captain. With these things in view, Pawtucket seems to be in a fair position to add to the basketball prestige already established by the successful campaign of 1928. At the finish of the basketball season, Mr. Arthur L. Jones, after successfully coaching all major sports at P. H. S. for two years, resigned his position. The 1928 basketball team sincerely wishes Mr. Jones will meet with the same high degree of success elsewhere as he attained at P. H. S. William R. Goldberg, Manager. 'O'OO' RII.S.

The 1928 Hockey Team of the Pawtucket Senior High School was by far the most successful that has represented this school in the past decade. When a call was issued for the candidates to report to our coach, Air. Read, more than thirty enthusiastic men assembled. Among the veterans that reported were, “Babe” Oden, stellar wing; Captain Fred Murphy, also a wing; and McAlevy and Campbell, reliable defense men. The first few games of the season were very discouraging, but under the excellent coaching of Mr. Read, the team improved rapidly, and in the later stages of the pennant race, defeated Hope, one of the leading teams for the hockey championship. In the play-off for the championship of the Blackstone Valley, Pawtucket defeated Central Falls, our most deadly rival, three goals to one, and three days later defeated St. Raphael, one goal to nothing in a game that was crowded with thrills, and clinched the title for Pawtucket. Among those who distinguished themselves during the campaign, beside the veterans, were “Vinnie” Campbell and Pease, two promising sophomores; Carr, defense man, and Perlow, goalie. The prospects for a championship team next year are very good, and Pawtucket High should have much success with their 1929 Hockey Team. Roy T. Evans, Manager.

The Track Team, with comparatively little practice, opened its season by competing in the annual Y. M. C. A. indoor Interscholastic meet. A scant one point was all that kept them second to Commercial, which gained a total of 23 points. Pawtucket was obviously stronger in the field events than in the running events. Carpenter secured fourth in the twenty-yard dash and in the three hundred, and the relay team (Conn, Woodhead, Carpenter and MacManus) got second place. In the field events, Evans won first in the high jump; Oden, first in the broad jump and third in the high jump; Harootunian, first in the shotput. In the Cranston Street Armory meet, Pawtucket finished fourth. Oden again secured first in the broad jump and a fourth in the shotput. Harootunian defaulted and only placed second in the latter event. Carpenter repeated his performance in the three hundred. Conn and Fletcher competed in the high jump for second and third places respectively. The outdoor season opened with the Inter-scholastic conference relays, a new contest on the Pawtucket calendar. Oden, Carpenter, Mae-Manus and Carr made up the team which came in first in the half-mile relay. The annual Kingston meet proved to be somewhat similar to the first meet. Pawtucket finished in second place. Again the field events were the main source for Pawtucket’s points. In the hammer event, Harootunian was first; Evans, second, and Horton, fourth. Harootunian, in his customary form, won the shotput. Oden came through with three third places, in the discus, broad jump and shotput. Carpenter finished second to Cole in the low hurdles, who incidentally broke the meet record for this event. Conn was tied in second place in the pole vault and third in the high jump. May 19, Pawtucket competed in the Brown Interscholastic meet for a total of 48( points, second to Hope. Oden was Pawtucket’s star in this particular meet, being responsible for eighteen points. He was first in the 440, the discus throw and tlie broad jump. A record-breaking jump with the last event gave him eight points. In the hurdle races Carpenter again was second place in the low hurdles, followed in the third position by Williamson, who also placed fourth in the high hurdles. McClentic won second in the 220 and fourth in the century. MacManus raced to a second place in the 440. In the shotput, Harootunian was defeated by one of his own team mates, MeAlevy, the latter winning second, the former, third place. Conn succeeded in clinching second place in the pole vault and tied for second in the high jump, Rogan, next year’s pole vaulter, came in fourth in his event. The relay team (MacManus, McClentic, Carpenter and Oden) secured third place. The Pawtucket track team entered the annual Brown Memorial Day meet and plans had beeu made for a few dual meets. Up to the time this book went to press, however, no reports had been obtained on these. Eakl Anderton, Manager. SWIMMING OFFICERS Captain, Frank Gramelsbach. Coach, Mr. Maxwell Read.

On January 13th, the Pawtucket Senior High School swimmers defeated the Hope Street High School swimmers by a score of 32 to 18. The Pawtucket natators continued their good work by swamping Technical 40 to 19. At this time it was apparent that the Pawtucket mermen would be strong contenders for the state schoolboy championship. The team was fortified with such men as Capt. Gramelsbaeh in distance races; Murphy and Newton in the backstroke; Hyszko, Thorpe and LeToile in the dives; Capt.-elect McClurg, Wood and Leach in the dashes, and Monahan and Toole, two coming stars, in the breast stroke, all of whom were consistent point gainers. Meets with Dean Academy, Brown Freshmen, St. George’s and Moses Brown preparatory schools, and the New England High School Championship swimming team from Brookline were lost only when the winner had been pushed to the utmost. After tasting heartbreaking defeat from these teams, Pawtucket again broke into the winning column. The results of the Brown Interscholastic meet, in which all high and preparatory schools in the state compete, showed the Pawtucket natators leading. The next week the P. II. S. mermen took the Rhode Island school-boy championship by winning the Y. M. C. A. Inter- scholastic meet at Providence. This showed the excellent training that the boys were receiving from Coach Maxwell Read and the co-operation given him. On February 14th the Newton High School swimmers came to Pawtucket and swam the most exciting meet of the year. Pawtucket was leading when the final event, the relay, was announced. Newton won the meet by taking this race by a matter of inches. In a special event at the New England Open A. A. U. meet, which was held in the new Senior High School pool, the P. II. S. relay team defeated a relay team representing Technical High School of Providence. The Pawtucket High School swimming team ended its season by winning the first annual Pawtucket High School Interscholastic meet, in which five teams participated. The 1927-1928 mermen won four silver loving cups and it is safe to say that these cups are the most beautiful trophies ever won by an athletic team representing this institution. No little honor is due to Coach Maxwell Read and his mermen. After encountering many difficult tasks early in the season, they came through with flying colors. Charles McAlevy, Manager.

During; the season of 1928, Baseball was successful at the Pawtucket Senior High School. Although the team was not of championship calibre, it was a hard working combination, and at various times the boys haA7e played the highest brand of baseball. The first Interscholastic game of the season was played in West Warwick. Pawtucket came out victorious, the score being 9 to 4. Fletcher, the new Pawtucket pitcher, proved to be a real find, and was not forced to exert himself during any part of the game. Three days later, after a long and thrilling game, Hope High School defeated our team 7 to 3. Bertoncini played a good game at short, making several scintillating stops, and also making a single and double. April 27, our team journeyed to Commercial’s field. The Bookkeepers put up a good game, but Fletcher pitched well and emerged victorious by the score of 9 to 7. Murphy, our left fielder, had a wonderful day with the bat, making four safe hits out of five trips to the plate, one of these being a long double. May 1, at Roger Williams’ Park, Pawtucket defeated Classical with case, the score being 10 to 6. Sutcliffe pitched good ball, and after the first inning had it easy. May 4, our team journeyed to East Providence, to meet a defeat after a long and hard fought game, the score being 7 to 4. May 5, Pawtucket journeyed to Kingston, to meet defeat at the hands of Rhode Island State Freshmen, by the score of 4 to 0. Although Pawtucket did not score, the Freshmen had to play the hardest game of the year. Wotherspoon got the only hit on Pawtucket’s team, in the ninth inning, and stole two bases. May 8, Pawtucket returned to their home field, only to meet defeat at the hands of Cranston. The score was 7 to 6. James Casey, Manager. P A RHS.
